Purple Satin Drizzle Landscape #1

My landscape vase series has added some serious sparkle. I spent a year optimizing the glass chemistry to bring satin, metallic and sparkling colors to 104 COE glass. I've recently been able to make large melts of these glasses that can be gathered from the furnace. The color "pot" side of my furnace is shown to give a feel for how this is possible.

These vases are a combination of gathered and torch applied color. Includes a custom teal metallic sparkle base with a layer of reactive earthy frit. This is cooked very hot in a large oxy-propane torch to make the reactive patterns form. Then streaks of metallic greens and blues were applied in the torch along with some white and red accents. Finally a "drizzle" of purple satin with directional sparkle and sheen takes it just a little more over the top. 

While this is one of a series, they are by no means the same. These colors do not exist outside of my studio.
